Roy DeCarava

Fishko Files | Sep 4, 2019

Soon after the events of September 11, a long-awaited book of jazz photography by the late Roy DeCarava was published and received by a changed world. WNYC's Sara Fishko talked to DeCarava, who died 10 years ago this fall, about the joys and sorrows of the human condition. (Produced for Studio 360 in 2001)

Photographs from DeCarava's book The Sound I Saw are on display at David Zwirner in two exhibitions opening tomorrow, September 5.
